![]() Another Concord native, famous author Henry David Thoreau, was also renowned for his pencil-making prowess.Ĭlick here to learn more about famous pencil people through history. ![]() William Monroe, a Concord, Massachusetts cabinet-maker, is credited with making America’s first wood pencils in 1812. Spurred by Faber-Castell (established in 1761), Lyra, Steadtler and other companies, an active pencil industry developed throughout the 19th century industrial revolution.Įarly settlers depended on pencils from overseas until the war with England cut off imports. Nuremberg, Germany was the birthplace of the first mass-produced pencils in 1662. Later, the graphite was inserted into hollowed-out wooden sticks and, thus, the wood-cased pencil was born! Originally, graphite sticks were wrapped in string. Appreciated for leaving a darker mark than lead, the mineral proved so soft and brittle that it required a holder. Graphite came into widespread use following the discovery of a large graphite deposit in Borrowdale, England in 1564. Other early styluses were made of lead, which is what we still call pencil cores, even though they actually are made of non-toxic graphite. Tiny Planet: The burst follows Tiny Planet's circular trajectory with minimal range, hitting the ground almost immediately.Pencil History: The Earliest Forms of Self Expressionĭid you know that modern pencils owe it all to an ancient Roman writing instrument called a stylus? Scribes used this thin metal rod to leave a light, but readable mark on papyrus (an early form of paper).Every 15th laser ring fired also shoots a cluster of tears.These are shot from the eye that shoots Technology 2, dealing damage alongside the Technology 2 beam. Replaces tears with lasers similar to Technology.Technology 2: Overrides Lead Pencil and disables normal tears entirely, even if not playing as Cain.A barrage of tears is fired alongside Technology every 15 shots.Stye: The tears from the barrage will never have the bonus damage from Stye.A barrage of tears is fired alongside Mom's Knife every 15 Knife throws.Incubus is capable of firing the barrage of tears like Isaac.Incubus: Fires red tears like Blood Clot with Cain, but without increased damage.Isaac's body will fire the lead pencil shot toward where the controlled tear is located at a regular time interval.The Ludovico Technique: The tear blinks red, but the effect is entirely cosmetic.Loki's Horns: Lead Pencil can fire in any of the cardinal directions if it fires at the same time as Loki's Horns.Firing with Incubus will now activate Lead Pencil. ![]() Lilith: No effect, as Lilith is inherently Blindfolded.The Lead Pencil tears fire alongside the bombs.The effect from Lead Pencil fires as separate tears from Brimstone.The tear burst may fire from the sprinkler or Isaac. Sprinkler: Sprinkler tears count for activation of the Lead Pencil effect.The Scooper: All tears benefit from the damage bonus granted by The Scooper.Lead Pencil will fire every 14th shot, with Torn Card quickly following at 15th. Torn Card: Decreases shot requirement by 1.Pop!: Causes burst tears to remain in the room for much longer, forming a soft barrier of sorts, which enemies must survive through to reach Isaac.When tears burst, they can also spawn barrages of tears that can be fed. Lachryphagy: Tears tend to clump together, becoming one giant tear which splits into 8 large tears.Haemolacria: Fires a barrage of Haemolacria tears, all of which will burst.Compound Fracture/ Cricket's Body/ The Parasite: All tears from the barrage split.Blood Clot: The tears from the barrage will always have the bonus damage from Blood Clot.Each tear fired from Monstro's Lung still count towards triggering the barrage, but only if Isaac does not have any tear modifying items, such as Technology.Tears fired from items that cause multiple tears to be fired at once e.g.Lead Pencil gives characters other than Cain the same special properties that he has when it comes to one-eye items like Blood Clot.Fired tears have a 50% chance to be colored red.Tears will fire only from Isaac's right eye.Tears in the barrage deal double damage.After every 15 tears fired, Isaac will fire a low range burst of 12 tears at once, in a similar fashion to Monstro's Lung.
